The routing has to be on a road (or a bicycle path if you select bicycling). Are you trying to get routes across campus, on "roads" not known to Google? That's not going to work. As TheWebProgrammer points out, you don't have to drop your starting point exactly on the road; the directionsService will move it to the road if it is "close enough." (You can retrieve the actual lat/lng used for the starting point from the returned directions. This is useful if you are chaining directions.) But if you are too far away from a road (in the middle of Lake Michigan), the directionsRenderer can't figure out what road to start on.

I'm rising these question to the mapmaker professional as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
